I'm from the US and have one caveat. I have a really old pair of Soundcore Life Dot 2s that are indestructible and have incredible battery. Sadly they don't make that line anymore and the only ones with the bud shape were the Space A40s. My wife has them and loves them. She bought me a pair and I didn't use them for a couple months so they were past the return window. I personally hate them. I have average size ears that all buds with a medium tip fit fine. These with any included tip slip out of my ears all the time, and out of box continuously cut out. That said, I still highly recommend Anker / Soundcore products, just with the caveat that they are a Chinese product only sold through Amazon and don't be like me and test your tech in the return window.
I bought a pair of Soundcore life dot 2 a few years back for maybe AU$30 on amazon, and they’ve been brilliant. Price to performance is off the charts.
Look at Soundcore, as others have said. Amongst others, I've got a pair of Soundcore Life Dot 2s that are pushing 5 years old now. They still give me 4+ hours of listening time (around 7.5 hours when new).
Mmm.. idk. I have one of those and I prefer my cheap Soundcore life dot 2’s over the AirPod pro’s. Granted I am one of those people who find AirPods uncomfortable so the seal is not the best in my left ear.
I would recommend the Soundcore’s but they are discontinued unfortunately…
For my work setup I use Philips SHP9500 + a V-MODA BoomPro microphone. This combo cancels out ambient noise as heard by other participants on a call but I can still hear everything. If your goal is to optimize for the quality of your audio during calls, this is it. If your goal is to not hear what’s happening around you, this is not it.
That being said when I speak with coworkers who use AirPod pro 2’s, those definitely provide a great albeit flat audio.
I had a previous set of the life line that died prior to getting my libertys. Had never spent more than 50 or so on a pair of ear buds and was realizing just how much I was wearing them so I decided to go ahead and spend a bit more. I have 0 regrets, absolutely love em.
